ICE took someone in Waite Park today while they were delivering food to their family. ICE violently smashed their car on a residential street and then started pointing guns at children in the neighborhood.

The point of ICE is not to deport criminals and thugs.

It is to terrorize blue states.

If you don't resist these fascists running over you they are going to run over you.

"Economic Blackout"

Seems like an exercise in futility.

What else can they do beyond lock and load?

That plays right into trumps hands. Trump WANTS to use the Insurrection Act so badly you can taste it.

I get your point Snoofy, but tanking it harder is to what benefit?

It's like pointing a gun at your head and yelling stop or I'll shoot.

#7 Yeah!

It is like those soldiers who jump on a hand grenade to save their fellow comrades.

Suckers and losers, right?

That's like asking why would blacks boycott the bus system in the Jim Crow South.
I'm guessing you can't figure that one out either.

"It's like pointing a gun at your head and yelling stop or I'll shoot."

And so it's good when ICE does that, why exactly?

You don't think ICE presence is having a negative impact on business because nobody wants to go near these goons, are you here to tell us you're this clueless?

not if they're allowed to do their job,.....

BTW...the count of criminals taken off the streets has surpassed 3000....

JV Pants is expected in the Twin Cities today for a 'roundtable discussion'. I suspect the RW media will scream that (1) Pants was disrespected by not being welcomed to the head of the (round) table, and (2) his life was endangered by flying ice directed at him and his motorcade (translation: it was snowing during his drive from the airport). Good times...

boycotting the busses was a huge symbolic win, that didn't hurt the black community beyond not riding the bus.

boycotting your local economy has immediate ramifications that then hurt you. The federal government isn't going to even notice if the Minneapolis economy crashes... hell this administration will probably cheer it.

I'm not saying to do nothing, but this is action with no win and only self harm. Your example wasn't the same thing.

Do you always just immediately refute me, do you even attempt a discussion at any point anymore? I'm actually agreeing with you mostly on this, and you'll still push back.

It's what liberals do best. They got BLM to destroy businesses, many of them being black-owned businesses. They want to hurt MN's economy simply because they don't agree with what the Federal government is doing, even though a very large portion of the country does agree with them.

This is all they know. They legislate solely on emotions and can't legislate on reality and common sense, so they do things that don't make sense. If they would only swallow their own pills, like in LA when the right-wing media was saying how bad it was but liberals saying that the problem is very small and nowhere near as blown up as the media was making it out to be. Same thing in MN. The impact to actual Americans is so tiny but liberal media blows it up like it's the rapture and we are all going to disappear. Both sides always say this, that the other side is exaggerating. Yet, their side never does. Their side is always right. Their side never does anything wrong. Their side is perfect. Blah blah blah.

So is destroying all the alliances that made us strong, and embracing the dictators that want to destroy us.

What liberals do best is earn money that is then confiscated to support the drooling moochers in red states.

I see our Trump suckers here get antsy when the victims of masked terrorists doing warrantless home searches and busting people for their skin color and shooting people in the face stand up for themselves.

Perhaps they should get used to it instead... ICE has something like a 30 percent approval with the public, and that's not even all the dumbass Base.
